Really not sure, but the message of this pretty song sounds a bit like the writer, Ronnie Lane, was saying that one should accept the gift of the wind without thinking it must be used for anything and the person feels compelled to build a sail. Life is but a dream. If there's an impulse to run away from one's troubles, that is mistaken. There is nowhere to run because after the running, one will remain the same person, with the same unresolved issues, just in a different place. Therefore, make no sail for a gift of the wind; enjoy the gift. Drive is slow = take your time. Breathe. Live. Existence is an endless dream.
Anyway, I don't know. I just heard this song for the first time a little while ago. Peace.
